What is the
...
Content Collection
...
?
...
Blackboard's Content Collection is a file repository that contains all of the files used in Blackboard courses and also allows faculty and students to store, manage, and
...
share content. The Content Collection functions as a virtual hard drive that can be accessed from any computer by logging into a
...
user's Blackboard account.
...
Any file
...
in the Content Collection
...
can be
...
reused and linked to
...
any Blackboard course
...
. If a file
...
needs to be updated, faculty
...
can update it
...
once, eliminating the need to go into each course to upload
...
a new version of the file.

When you delete items or file links, any attached files remain in the Content Collection and continue to use your allowed course size quota. You must delete the unused file from the Content Collection in order to free space in your course quota. |
